Profantasy Campaign Cartographer

[Angelo Dante]

Has anyone used this software?

[Mormacil]

Never heard of it, any good?

[richjunk]

Yes. It is good at what it does, after a significant learning curve. (But if you play Dom4 that should not be an issue.) Two other choices that are less expensive: FractalMapper 8 and and new one that is only available in Beta right now: Other World Mapper (OWM). http://otherworldmapper.com/ .

I have been playing with OWM. It is based on CAD software and is seems easier to use and the results are (IMHO) better than FractalMapper8. When you are done with a Dom4 map created in OWM, switch to another program (Gimp, Photoshop, etc.) change any white colors (255,255,255) to (254,254,254). Then place single pixels of (255,255,255) for the center of your provences. Finally, use the DOM4 map editor for all of the DOM4 isms.

I used it, although not for the purpose of making dominions maps. I found it very hard to get into, and my results were not really what I wanted. I've seen really great maps that other people made with it though.

@richjunk I'll check out OWM when I get off work. Years back I was a draftsman and used AutoCAD all day, so i like the idea of a mapmaker that has similarities.

Wasn't Archaea made using Campaign Cartographer?

True, that's clearly made with CC. Although with some custom assets, I believe.

Great looking map!
Would be interested in trying it - but google-drive? Seriously?
Woüld someone be willing to host this on some less data-mining-monopoly-horror? 8-)
Big Thx if you do!
